Have you been trying to break through to your employees but it’s just not working? Are you looking for a way to jumpstart your company’s culture and general attitude?

1. Speakers Bring a Fresh Perspective
While you may be saying the same general things a professional keynote speaker would to your team, the fact of the matter is that they are used to you. Bringing in a fresh face with an inspiring message is a new, shiny way to grab your employees’ attention. The key to success here is to find a speaker whose values align with you and your company. For instance, if you are looking to build trust in your organization, find a speaker that focuses on building trust and trust exercises. If you are looking to implement a new technology for your workers, bring in a successful CEO who has profited from this change.
2. Their Live Experience Is Inspiring
More often than not, a keynote speaker is bringing life experience to the table that many of your employees have not dealt with. Listening to somebody who has overcome hardship and adversity is a great way to put your own problems into perspective and to be the best that you can be. Choosing a motivational speaker with an incredible story who shares the same values as you and your team is a simple way to motivate and inspire your workers.
3. Speakers Can Reengage Burnt Out Employees
When someone has been at your company for a while, it can be easy to lose the vision and the “why” behind what you are doing. A charismatic speaker who brings energy to the conversation is a great way to reinvigorate and motivate your employees. Burnout is all too common in the workplace, and this is a great way to combat it head-on
4. Employee Retention and Development
Bringing a keynote speaker to an event is a great way to show that you are putting in effort to engage with your employees. People want to feel valued, and bringing in a successful speaker who will teach your workers new skills and new ways of thinking will translate to a new outlook, new perspectives, and hopefully employee retention in the long run.
5. Speakers Can Reiterate Your Message
Nobody wants to feel like their words are boring to others, but the reality is that your employees hear you speak and engage with you quite frequently. Because of this, your message can unfortunately start to fall on deaf ears. By bringing a new face into the mix, your employees can quite literally hear the same message that you’ve been trying to get across, but retain it with fresh ears and a new perspective.
6. Organizational Transformation
Are you trying to move your organization in a new direction? Maybe you’re trying to implement change and your employees are (predictably) resistant to it. A fresh new face who has experience with the kind of changes you are trying to implement can help pave a path forward and allow your employees to imagine what the future of your organization can look like.
